legal issue
New regulations to alter real estate loans & transactions By Derek Matthews
New federal regulations that will completely transform both residential real estate lending and the process for closing residential real estate loans nationwide are expected to take effect on October 1. The intent of the new regulations, which were created by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), is to make residential real estate transactions and lending easier to understand for homebuyers.
A
s recently as June 17, it was believed these new regulations would take effect on August 1, but the CFPB issued a surprise announcement that they would be issuing a proposed amendment to delay the implementation of the regulations until October. The proposed delay is a positive because the additional time for preparation for a redefined transaction process will benefit everyone involved in residen-
12 homes.newsminer.com
tial real estate transactions – real estate agents and brokers, lenders, title insurance and settlement service providers, homebuilders, as well as home buyers and sellers. Through the new regulations, which are known in the real estate industry as the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID) Rule, the CFPB re-invented mortgage loan disclosure forms currently required under federal law. Along with these new forms, the regulations include different waiting periods for closing real estate loans. The new regulations will apply to most loans where a home loan application is received by the lender on or after October 1. So, if a home buyer applies for a loan on September 30, their
loan and closing will be subject to the existing rules. But, if a home buyer applies for a loan on October 1 or later, the new rules will apply and the home buyer will get the new disclosure forms and the closing will be subject to the new waiting periods.
The New Forms The early Truth-in-Lending disclosure, commonly referred to as the TIL, and the Good Faith Estimate will go away on most transactions. The final TIL and HUD-1 settlement statement will also go away on most transactions. Two new disclosures, the Loan Estimate and the Closing Disclosure, will take their place. The Loan Estimate is intended to clearly communicate how much the borrower will pay for the loan. The CFPB expects the Loan Estimate to be used by borrowers as a tool to obtain quotes from numerous lenders when shopping for a loan. The second new disclosure form, the “Closing Disclosure,� captures all of the costs associated with the transaction, including the fees charged by the lender and fees charged by third parties such as the appraiser, surveyor, real estate bro-
kers and title and settlement companies. The Closing Disclosure will also include government charges, such as taxes and recording fees.
The Waiting Periods Among the most significant changes under the new regulations is that the Closing Disclosure must be provided to the borrower (or home buyer) a full three business days prior to the closing. Most importantly, if there are changes during that three-business day period, the closing could be delayed. Borrowers and real estate agents need to be aware that a new three-business day waiting period will be required if the disclosed APR on the loan becomes inaccurate within certain percentages, the loan type changes, or a pre-payment penalty is added. To help ensure that transactions are not perpetually delayed by changed costs, the buyer, seller and their real estate agents will have to avoid chang-
ing costs or adding fees or credits in the 7-10 days before closing. For example, a last-minute repair credit from the seller to the buyer may not only require a new Closing Disclosure and a new three-day waiting period, but it may also require the lender to re-underwrite the loan itself.
The Lender’s Role Under the new regulations, lenders will face added liability if the cost and waiting period timeframes are not met, and may face major fines if they fail to comply. As a result, lenders will be much more involved in the closing process to ensure the Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure are accurate and delivered within the required deadlines. They may limit the borrower’s choice of settlement agents to those that meet the lender’s criteria. In addition, because of the mandatory waiting periods, lenders will have final say on the closing dates.
Conclusion The new regulations mean everyone involved in a residential real estate closing will need to adjust to the new timing and process requirements. During this adjustment period, it’s reasonable to expect that loans may take longer to get approved and closed, so home buyers and sellers should keep this in mind as they consider buying or selling a home after October 1.

The company offers title services through its direct operations and an extensive network of agents throughout the United States and abroad.

HOMEStyle Cooking Cheers from Gary Black Your summer herb garden is a bushel of ideas waiting to happen, and this is one of the easiest — and best tasting — ways to put it to use. I’m a big fan of pesto, and I enjoy going beyond the basic basil version. With my parsley plant in overdrive, it was time to do something with it. What better way than a pesto with crunch, tang and zip? The fresh lemon juice and zest in this version makes it pop with flavor. I tossed it with some pasta, grilled chicken and red peppers, and it was a taste bonanza. That’s the great thing about pesto. There are hundreds of different ways to incorporate it into your dinner, and hundreds of different variations you can create. Also, it’s easy to freeze into individual portions when you need to amp up the flavor profile of whatever you’re cooking. This recipe makes about 2 cups
Parsley-Walnut Pesto I NGR E DI E NT S : 2 cups flat-leaf parsley leaves 3/4 cup toasted chopped walnuts 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 cloves garlic 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 2 teaspoons lemon zest D I R E CTIO N S To make the pesto: Place the parsley, walnuts, cheese, garlic and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse until well combined. Combine the oil, lemon juice and zest in a small bowl. Add the oil mixture to the parsley mixture in a slow stream, pulsing to combine. Serve immediately or freeze. To freeze the pesto: Divide the pesto into preferred serving sizes and place in small resealable plastic bags or small plastic containers with airtight lids. Force excess air out of the container, and freeze for up to three months.

ork loin ranks high on my list of best things ever. It’s flavorful, it’s moist and it’s pork — and you can’t go wrong with any of those. A properly cooked pork loin is usually a highpoint of any meal be-
18 homes.newsminer.com
cause, again, it’s pork. If you want to go above and beyond, though, and add some flair to that perfect meat, think about creating a stuffed pork loin, which elevates it from ensemble player to red carpet star. This roasted pork loin stuffed with bourbon-soaked figs and Gorgonzola cheese is one of the best things I’ve prepared in a while (which is saying something, as I cook a lot at home.) The bourboninfused sweetness of the figs is a wonderful complement to the tang of the salty cheese, and the roasted garlic wraps it up all together for one, big flavorful mouth explosion. The recipe calls for soaking your dried figs in bourbon. Do not think about skipping this. The dried figs soak up the bourbon nicely, and the flavors work well together. My rule when cooking with wine or liquor is use the good stuff. If you don’t drink cheap booze, why would you cook with it? For my figs, I used Woodford Reserve bourbon, as
it’s what I had at home. Be sure to save the bourbon you soaked your figs in, as you will turn that into a wonderful glaze to serve over your pork loin. I also recognize fig and Gorgonzola might be a hard sell for some people, so I offer you an optional stuffing. The good thing about a pork loin is you can stuff it with just about anything you like and it will probably turn out delicious. I also created a spinach and crimini
mushroom stuffed pork loin which was incredibly easy. Sauté 3 to 4 sliced crimini mushrooms in olive oil until tender and add several big handfuls of baby spinach, cooking until it’s slightly wilted. Substitute that for the figs when preparing the loin, or get creative and come up with your own stuffing. Either version — the fig and Gorgonzola or the spinach and mushroom — will be sure to satisfy.
Roasted Pork Loin Stuffed with Bourbon-Soaked Figs and Gorgonzola I N G REDIENTS: 1 boneless pork tenderloin 1 cup dried figs, chopped 1 cup good bourbon 2 heads roasted garlic, cloves squeezed out 8 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled 3 tablespoons chopped fresh sage 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon dried herbs, like a thyme, rosemary and oregano blend 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons maple syrup 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar D I RECTIO N S
P
reheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a roasting pan or baking sheet with aluminum foil, and spray it with nonstick spray. Place the pork on a cutting board and get a sharp knife. Slice it twice to open so you have a lot of space to work with. Start at the bottom of the pork (about 1/4 inch from the bottom) and slice it lengthwise, then continue to cut up and open up the pork. If you like, you can pound the pork with a mallet to flatten and tenderize it. Place the dried figs in a bowl. Heat the bourbon in a saucepan over medium-low heat until it’s simmering, then pour the bourbon over the figs and let them sit for 4 to 5 minutes. In the meantime, spread the roasted garlic cloves over the inside of the pork. Once the figs have softened a bit, add them on top of the roasted garlic (save the bourbon they sat in), followed by the crumbled Gorgonzola and then the sage. Tightly roll up the tenderloin and tie it together with kitchen twine. Season the entire outside with the salt and pepper, the dried herbs, and rub it with the brown sugar. Place the stuffed pork loin on the roasting pan or baking sheet and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the inside is cooked and reads about 140 to 145 degrees. Let the pork rest for 20 minutes before slicing. Combine the reserved bourbon that the figs soaked in with the maple syrup and balsamic vinegar and reduce it by half in a saucepan
over medium heat. Pour it over the pork right before serving. Note: I wanted my glaze a little sweeter, so I threw in a small handful of brown sugar as it simmered. Serves about 4 Approximate preparation and cooking time is 11/2 to 2 hours.
Gary’s wine pairing tips: The gorgonzola and bourbony dates are strong flavors, so I’d go with a light-flavored pinot noir or chardonnay, something that wouldn’t compete as much. Maybe a dry chenin blanc too.

Staging your Home By Angie Tallant
W
e all have heard that staging a home for sale helps the property look more appealing and can aid in a quicker sale. Let’s take a look at some interesting statistics from the National Association of REALTORS®. 49% of all homebuyers are affected by staging, according to the 2015 NAR Profile of Home Staging. Up to 81% of buyers find it easier to “visualize the property as a future home” when the home is staged. Let’s take a look at some excellent staging suggestions to give your home a competitive edge! Curb Appeal is a Thing Let me just repeat that – Curb appeal is a thing. I love Fairbanks, but we can sometimes give off the wrong impression to buyers that are new to the area. Let’s make sure we are looking at our home from the eyes of a buyer. Take the time to drive down a street in your neighborhood and take notice of which ones you find appealing. Nine times out of 10 it’s the one that looks picturesque, spruced up and clean. So paint that trim, put out some flowers, remove debris and toys, mow the lawn, make sure that you have paths shoveled and your driveway plowed in winter.
Don’t Forget About the Dog Our pets are members of our family but we don’t want any buyers to step in to any unexpected “surprises”. During the summer months remember that a potential buyer will be looking at 22 homes.newsminer.com
the backyard and walking around the entire property. Make sure to clean up after your pet prior to a showing. Trust me, you don’t want to be remembered as “that house”. In the winter, we all know it can be a bit more difficult. It’s cold and things are frozen. While your buyers may not be walking around the entire property, they are looking through the windows – so take a shovel and throw fresh snow over any spots that may need it if you can’t get out to take care of it normally. If you can see it, so can they.
Remove Clutter Even if you don’t think you have clutter, you have clutter. Everyone has clutter. It’s part of everyday life. Go through your possessions and remove personal effects from the home. Think minimalist. Have too much?? Rent a storage space and get it out of there!! Your home is going to be more tempting to buyers that can visualize their own furniture and pictures hanging on the wall.
Smells are Bad Whether it is a good scent or a bad one, smells are overwhelming to a buyer. So before you load up your Scentsy or disburse Hawaiian themed aerosol spray, remember that what smells good to you, doesn’t necessarily mean that it will smell good to a prospective buyer. Also keep in mind that a themed scent for each room may scream creativity but it can also leave a potential buyer with a headache, one they will associate with your home. Bad smells are, of course, not good – keep your trash cleaned out in all rooms before a showing and limit your creative, but odorous, food cooking for a time when showings aren’t scheduled as those smells have a way of lingering.
You can find a variety of helpful hints on what to do and what not to do online, but keep your head and don’t overdo. This is not supposed to be overwhelming. That’s why you’ve hired a real estate professional to sell the home. Listen to their suggestions and follow their advice. They want to sell your home as much as you do. Happy Home Selling!!

8 Steps to conquering clutter: Cleanliness with kids is not impossible Famed comedienne Phyllis Diller once said, “Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the sidewalk before it stops snowing.” Many parents realize that having children means their homes will be filled with a vast assortment of toys, clothing and other items that seemingly spend more time scattered across the family room floor than in children’s bedrooms. Homes where young children lay their heads at night may not be as tidy as the photos lining home decorating magazine spreads. But while lived-in family homes may never be spotless, they do not have to be overrun with clutter, either. It’s possible to find a happy balance with the right strategy and by investing in a few organizational products.
1
Work one room at a time. Cleaning up cluttered homes can seem like a monumental effort when looking at clutter as a whole. But parents can do themselves a favor by choosing a starting point and tackling the project one room at a time. Find the room that needs the most work or a space where clutter causes the biggest headaches. Once you clean such rooms, you may discover extra motivation to move on to the others.
the existing clutter in another room. For example, if a child’s toy is in the living room, you may walk that toy up to the bedroom and get involved in tidying up the bedroom, leaving the mess behind in the living room. When organizing a home, stay in a particular room until that room is clean. Have designated bins or bags for items that need to be carried into another room, but only transfer such containers after a room has been cleaned.
2
3
Resist the urge to wander. One of Cull twice a year. Children the obstacles many people face accumulate the greatest number when attempting to declutter a of new toys on birthdays and home is the tendency to remove holidays. Set a schedule to go an item from one room only to add it to through existing toys prior to these 26 homes.newsminer.com
events and sort out the broken, old or seldom-used items. Donate these toys to preschools, afterschool programs, family support centers, or babysitting centers at your office or gym. Whatever can’t be salvaged should be put into the trash or recycling bins.
4
Invest in storage cubes and bins. Toys that are easily accessible and seen are easier to find and put away. Develop a storage system that works for your family. Labeling bins with words (or pictures for children who can’t yet read) helps children identify where things belong. Find a system that will have long-term functionality and grow with the family.
Many stores sell storage bookcases that blend with home dĂŠcor.
5
Tame the toys. Making too many items available at any given time can become overwhelming to children. Rotate toys rather than always buying new ones so that items will be fresh and interesting. Toys out of the rotation can be stored in a basement or attic. Belongings that are not requested or missed can be given away. Another idea is to create wishlists for birthdays and holidays. This way friends and relatives only buy what kids want, rather than an array of toys that may just end up taking up space.
6
Get items off of the floor. Any organizational system that can move items vertically is beneficial. Children will become accustomed to hanging things up rather than leaving belongings on the floor. Hooks, hangers and shelving mounted on walls, will free up precious floor space.
7
Choose furniture that serves double duty. Beds with drawers underneath or a toy chest that doubles as a bench can work well in spaces that need some clutter control.
8
Establish a school memory box. Parents can give each of their children a plastic bin where they can store memorable items from school. Not every assignment or drawing sent home needs to be kept. Reserve the memory box for those special things that have the most meaning. Kids and clutter often go hand in hand. However, there are ways to keep the mess under control.
